Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 5/6] Taint domains configured with cpu mode=host-passthrough

There are several reasons for doing this:

no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and it's use is at one's own risk

Notes:
Version 2:
- more verbose commit message
Per your rebuttal on v1, I agree that we can defer documentation of
tainting to a later patch (it's a pre-existing problem, that your patch
didn't make any worse, although fixing it will now involve more text).
Therefore, I'm okay giving ACK, but I'm hoping that we have taint
documentation by 0.9.10 (and I may be able to step in and help provide
some).
